Author: Jessica Furey

It's a new year, so why not create a new you? Better yet, why not just touch up the old you? Add some polish, trim things up and head into 2005. You can do just that at Salon 212 at 109 S. Marion in Oak Park. It offers the finest salon and spa services in Oak Park and the surrounding area.

Salon 212 has been making area residents and visitors beautiful for the past eight years out of the same location. It offers men's and women's haircuts and coloring as well as styling and any number of spa options. One of 10 stylists will work with you to create a hairstyle you'll love, whether it's a simple trim or something new and different. Highlighting, low lighting and any other color combo or creation is available.

If it's a massage you're looking for, stop in for a deep-tissue, aromatherapy, or head, neck and foot massage. You can schedule a manicure or pedicure or get a facial or body wrap.

Learn more about makeup and what works best for you with a makeup lesson and professional application. Heading out for an exotic spring break holiday? Stop in for a leg or bikini wax or treat yourself to a stress relief or quick pick-me-up spa package.

The salon carries a number of professional hair and nail care lines including Paul Mitchell, American Crew, Redken and Alterna for hair, and OPI, Creative and Essie for nails.

Salon 212 is open 10am to 8pm Tuesdays through Fridays, 9am to 5pm Saturdays, and 10am to 3pm Sundays. Owner Daniel Mehmeti says the salon and spa always has packages available, as well as gift certificates. Mix and match this Valentine's Day for your sweetheart.

Although Salon 212 has been an Oak Park institution for 25 years, new ownership since 1997 has updated it. When Daniel Mehmeti bought Salon 212 and Day Spa, he remodeled the establishment, doubled its square footage and doubled the staff. Part of his formula for success involves constantly changing the salon itself and the equipment to keep the business current. Mehmeti also ensures employees know the latest techniques by sponsoring and encouraging continuing education.

In addition to expertise on the latest styles and techniques, Salon 212 employees must share Mehmeti's “enthusiasm.” He admits that he is “very picky” when hiring people because he believes that success results from “100 percent satisfaction for the customer.” Staff members therefore must be “willing to make sure that every person who sits in his or her chair will be 100 percent satisfied.” All stylists give cuts, colors and highlights.

Mehmeti is also very proud of the salon's aesthetics department, which handles facials, body treatments, manicures, pedicures and waxing. Salon 212 offers 12 different types of facials that cover every skin type and range from ones that peel off to ones that mold to the face. The salon exclusively uses the Pevonia line, which are featured in large hotels and destination spas. This line utilizes all natural and high-quality ingredients including but not limited to seaweeds, algae, mud from different parts of the world and Dead Sea salts.

Salon 212's flexibility allows people to create their own spa packages. Salon 212 sells high quality products as well. Hair color lines include Framesi, based in Milan, and Logics. The salon also sells Paul Mitchell, American Crew and Alterna products.
